Very tasty beer! Scents of fruitiness and hops dominate when the bottle is cracked. I smelled either hickory or some other smokey kind of scent about half way through the bottle. I tasted caramel, cinnamon, and very subtle banana bread. 30 seconds after a sip I can taste some sort of berry flavor which is sweet, like strawberries along side a gentle maltiness. Somewhat complex, and a good beer to share with a close friend at a bbq for those who like to savor a beer. Overall, very pleasant beer. My favorite so far from Weihenstephan.

Poured into recently bought weizen glass. The appearance was a nice looking dark brown color. A big rich off white three finger head rose above the glass and fell at a nice pace leaving some rings in a speckled sort of nice lacing. The smell had a good amount of banana esters and a rich coffee and chocolate underneath. The taste was mainly the same and offered a soothingly sweet rich cocoa aftertaste. The finish was semi-wet but thick.The mouthfeel sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sipping quality about it. Sweet banana and a light spice rolls over my tongue. Overall, this was a wonderful offering on a cold SE Alaskan Spring afternoon.

-nice redish brown color with a large head didnt hold to long but great german look-hint of banana bread like scents with mellow german yeasts very little hops sent- great taste smoothness and simple dark wheat taste, like a caramelized full flavor hefen -a little over carbonated to me but apart from that it is a very smooth balanced beer- one of my favorite german beers and is a go to for me
